G is the midpoint of EFEF (Given).
This means: EG=FG
HG is shared by △EHG and △FHG (Common side).
EH and FH are the sides forming the angles ∠EHG and ∠FHG (Segments in the triangles).
By the Reflexive Property, HG‾=HG‾
In △EHGand △FHG:
- EG=FG (Midpoint property),
- HG‾=HG (Common side),
- EH and FH meet at H (forming the two angles).
By the Base Angles Theorem (or congruence of triangles if needed), the angles opposite equal sides in an isosceles triangle are congruent:
∠EHG≅∠FHG..
